JACKSONVILLE, Fla \u2014 Comedian Brad Williams is helping ring in the new year in Jacksonville. Williams will be performing at the Florida Theatre on December 31. The stand-up comedian sat down with WOKV\u2019s Chase Bunker ahead of the New Year\u2019s Eve show, where the two discussed sports hatred, the worst gig he played, and he learns about the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow am I not a fan of a team that are called the Jumbo Shrimp. That is amazing. I am 4-foot-4; I should be wearing Jumbo Shrimp merchandise wherever I go,\u201d says Williams. \u201cI will literally fly out from California, I will leave my hot Chinese wife and my wonderful daughter just to be out there and throw out a first pitch for a Jumbo Shrimp game. Let\u2019s make this happen, alright. I\u2019m praying to all that is Tony Boselli that I can be out there for some Jumbo Shrimp action. That sounds awesome,\u201d joked Williams.<\/p>\n
